 nervnle, followed by a more regularly curved fascia extending from costa to lower median nervule, and 

 a narrow marginal and snbrnarginai fascia fused together near apex; posterior wings with a basal 

 costal spot, followed by eight very irregularly sized spots (some more or less fused and one long and 

 fascia-like extending from costa to base of upper median nervule) on discal half, apiiu followed by an 

 outer dislocated narrow fascia, which is merged in a purplish-brown patch near apex, a faint lunulate 

 marginal fascia including some very small spots, and three large marginal spots of metallic greenish scales 

 near anal angle, the first and third of which contain a black spot. Body above and beneath more or less 

 concoloroiis with wings ; legs ooncolorotiet, the tarsi greyish.

The male, as figured by Hewitson, is unicolorous, violaceous -blue above, 



2. Panchala singhapura, n. sp, 



Male, "Wings above dark violaceous-blue, the fringe dark fuscous. 

 Wings beneath violaceous-brown, with tbe following dark purplish- brown 

 markings and fascue:— anterior wings marked as in 1*. dianli; posterior 

 wings with a basal costal spot, a broad transverse fascia crossing wing at 

 basal third, followed by a central fasciate spot extending from costal 

 nervure to base of third median nervule, where it is connected with an 

 upper spot situate between tbe median and the submedian nervures ; other markings as in P* diardi, save 

 that the anal angular greenish marginal spots are situate in a broad dark purplish -brown patch. 



Tbe ground colour of tbe under surface of the posterior wings is much more violaceous than that of 

 the anterior wings. 



Female. — Wings above much paler violaceous- blue than in male; anterior wings with the costal 

 and outer margins (broadest at apex and extending to upper disco-cellular nervulcsi broadly dark fuscous j 

 posterior wings with the costal t outer and abdominal margins dark fuscous. Wings beneath as in male. 



Exp. wings, S and S , 40 to 42 millim. 



Has, — Malay Peninsula; Singapore (Kerr and Biggs — coll. Dist.). 



This species is closely related to IK diardi, as may be seen by comparing the figures here 

 given, the specific differences being most emphatically illustrated by the distinct markings on 

 the under surface of the posterior wings. It is also very closely allied to the Philippine 

 species, P.fultjida, Hew., from which it is most readily discriminated by the much larger 

 bluish area on the upper surface of the wings in the female sex.
